I noticed. Didn't want to jinx it by speaking of it. Thanx for whatever logic prevailed.

As a freeloader I normally wouldn't complain about ads - BUT the last time I logged on I found an ad blocking the spaces where I was supposed to enter my User ID and Password -- and no way to get rid of the ad or move around it.

If you're on a PC, make sure you have the box checked to stay logged in right there at the username and password windows. Also try using Firefox with ABP (Ad Blocker Plus). I can get on FTE without logging into my profile and it blocks all of the really annoying ads. The FF is a free download from Mozilla and the ABP is a free add-on.

Some folks also have better luck with Chrome than IE.

Well...

"THEY"RE BAAACCCKKK"

Now to the right, rather than top of page.

The Forum/Gallery/Tools/Etc bar has disappeared. (shows when cursor hovers)

Yes David, unfortunately they are back.

We're in the process of getting the IB folks to look at it now. Hopefully will be resolved soon.

Thanks.

Hi folks,

Many, many apologies for the right side rails. They're absolutely not supposed to be there--and it's an oversight on the ad team's part during tech updates.

Thank you for the explanation, Jose. Is it going to be fixed?

Hey, on the bright side, I'm brushing up on my Spanish for my next trip to O'Reilly's.


Me gusta mucho las refacciones para mis proyectos.


I could use one in French please.


Bon Soir,

Hey you're lucky Sean. All I got all night were CAR ID, Tire Rack, and Louis Vuitton ads.

Bill, if you are using Firefox or Chrome, install AdBlocker+. The ads will disappear. If you are using IE - switch to Firefox or Chrome.

Carl, I use Chrome on multiple machines, but can't use it everywhere. And it is not my responsibility to correct IB issues by using certain browsers.


Actually, that advert didn't even catch my attention until someone else mentioned it, so it's not a pressing issue to me. But thought I would add my 2 bits to the "nose under the tent" thread.


It was not an accident that my screenshot captured that portion of the thread title.

They are working on it and hopefully will get it fixed soon. The squished threads are annoying.

But, on a positive note, I love the new smilie.
